I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Macomb, IL) in Feb 2011
Interview
Human resources called me and spoke to me for a few minutes. I got the interview and went in a couple days later. I spoke to HR again, then to the hiring manager for the department I was going to be working in, and then pretty much got the job right there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell them about a time you had to work on something in a group.
Phone interview and then asked to come in for in person interview. The hiring manager asked typical interview questions. Why do you want to work here? And asked bout scheduling availability,
There was a lot of questions but overall it went pretty decent. They were your standard interview questions. I am happy with the outcome but maybe I could do better next time.
Solid and very well informative process. It was straightforward and well put together. I really enjoyed the people that I interacted with and ultimately chose another route due to time constraints.
